Polymath discovered 5 months ago- US hegemony towards sunset
- goodearl rated 5 months ago
- From the page: "Analysts often question whether the United States can sustain its preeminence in the face of rising competitors like the European Union, China, India, Russia or Japan â€" as well as the rising prominence of economic power. This two-part series analyzes potential leadership for the 21st century, and in the second article, physicist and political observer Jiang Qian argues that the likelihood of an alternative great power emerging soon is exaggerated. Indeed, many states have immense potential, concedes Qian. But a true multipolar world is a long way off, he notes, because domestic difficulties, widespread poverty as well as multiple regional challenges await the potential rising powers. â€oeFor the near future, the US will remain the only country with both global ambition and global reach,” writes Qian. The long-term future remains in flux: Trading power, ownership of raw materials or ideological influence could emerge and trump territorial control, military might or even long-held alliances. To detect any rising power for this century, grand strategists must determine the core interests among the various players. â€" YaleGlobal"
